Tomorrow ITV2 will air the first episode of Models, Misfits & Mayhem with the multi-award-winning Mr Fierce Catwalk Professor l'extraordinaire. I am Mr Fierce's personally assigned make-up artist for this entire season.

http://www.itv.com/modelsmisfitsandmayhem/about/abouttheshow :

Models, Misfits & Mayhem follows all the drama at Britain’s busiest modelling school – The London School of Modelling.

The school, run by no-nonsense principal Debbie King, trains up wannabe models (male and female) and sends the best off to castings for a wide variety of jobs, including TV commercials, magazine shoots, catwalk shows and much more.

Each week, we follow 12 aspiring models as they come through the doors for an intense and challenging four-day modelling course.

We’ll follow the pupils as they are put through their paces in a variety of imaginative classes - and we’ll also leave the school when one or more of them wins the prize of a magazine shoot, fashion show or commercial.

It could be you!

Would be models from all over the country are desperate for Debbie and the team to sprinkle some stardust over them – and throughout the series we'll allow viewers to apply via uploading videos over the web.
